Janome Memory Craft 6500P Quilting Sewing Machine

With 135 Different Stitches Its One Of The Most Versatile Sewing Machines On The Market

There are 135 stitches that can be used over 4 different modes which gives you 391 available stitches including the buttonholes. You can use these stitches for quilting, sewing garments, monograms, and embroidery. The quilting mode alone has 69 different stitches, with 4 that look like hand quilting. Monogramming comes in block and script letters, both capital and lower case, along with numbers. There is a quick flip chart reference that folds down on the back of the machine to serve as a stitch choice guide. And the Janome MC6500P has memory recall of the last 3 stitches you've used if you need to rework a seam.

The Memory Craft sewing machine has an automatic threader, independent bobbin winder, and thread cutter that can be set to automatically cut after a particular stitch sequence. And there is a visible pressure gauge on the front that lets you see the exact amount of pressure you are using on a project so you can come back to it at a later time. This keeps the stitches uniform even if you sew other items in between.

The Janome MC6500P has die cast aluminum arm, bed, top cover and face plate. The internal gears are all metal it comes with a 25 year limited mechanical warranty. Metal gears allow top speed sewing without vibration and they last longer than plastic parts. The disadvantage of metal gears is the noise and weight. This sewing machine is built like a tank and made to last.

The extension bed attachment is large enough to handle big projects like quilt assembly, and other home decor sewing projects like draperies. And the Janome MC6500P model has a knee control for the presser foot and a foot pedal to control the stitching speed. This leaves your hands free to manage your project. It makes patchwork and machine quilting a breeze. The Janome Memory Craft 6500P is a great sewing machine for beginners and quilters alike.
